Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diary of a New Chum I was asked to a fancy dress ball at the Parkins´, and for some unaccountable reason I accepted. As a rule this sort of distraction does not appeal to me. I do not understand the craving that makes people pretend they are Romeo, Lady Teazle, a clown, or a French cook for a few hours every winter. I found myself the only Mexican in the motley crowd, and was soon introduced to a French peasant, who had taken the opportunity of displaying pretty arms and very shapely legs. She was dancing beautifully, and proved a pleasant partner. After several waltzes, I was allowed to take her to supper. We had some champagne; not much, but it went to my head, and I felt suddenly hopelessly in love with the French peasant.
